Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of peginesatide for the maintenance of hemoglobin in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who had received at least 24 weeks of peginesatide treatment in an earlier study.

A strategy for optimizing erythropoietin therapy in patients with erythropoietin resistance. A multi-centered, open-label, randomized, controlled trial.

The primary goal of the trial was to evaluate whether the optimal antiproteinuric doses of benazepril (an ACE inhibitor) or losartan (an ARB), as compared with their conventional doses, can safely improve the long-term renal outcome in nondiabetic patients with proteinuria and chronic renal insufficiency. The second aim was to compare the long-term renal protection between benazepril and losartan at similar clinical setting.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether N-acetylcysteine is effective in the prophylaxis of post-cardiopulmonary bypass acute renal impairment.

The purpose of this study is to compare the plasma and urine pharmacokinetics (PK) of MK-3402 in participants with impaired renal function and healthy control participants, to investigate the extent to which MK-3402 is removed from the plasma by hemodialysis (HD), and evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-3402 in participants with impaired renal function.

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study designed to assess the safety and performance of the Pristine™ Long-Term Hemodialysis Catheter.

In renally impaired patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE), standard-of-care (SOC) anticoagulation, i.e. heparins-vitamin K antagonists (VKA), at therapeutic dosage is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic and bleeding complications compared to patients with normal renal function. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAs) have been shown to be at least as effective and safe as SOC in VTE treatment. But in the clinical trials, moderate renally impaired patients were poorly represented and patients with severe renal insufficiency not at all. So no dose reduction was considered. Surprisingly, DOAs have been approved for VTE treatment in moderate and severe renally impaired patients. There is need to evaluate a reduced dose of DOAs for VTE treatment in patients with moderate and severe renal insufficiency. We plan to evaluate reduced doses of 2 DOAs (apixaban, rivaroxaban) compared to SOC in VTE patients with moderate or severe renal insufficiency in terms of net clinical benefit (recurrent VTE and major bleeding) at 3 months.

Crescentic IgA nephropathy (CreIgAN) has a poor prognosis despite aggressive immunosuppressive therapy. The efficacy of plasma exchange (PE) in CreIgAN is not well defined. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of plasma exchange as adjunctive therapy for severe crescentic IgA nephropathy compared to pulse methylprednisolone on a background of oral prednisolone and cyclophosphamide in prevent kidney failure.

To evaluate changes in renal function, efficacy, and safety when switching from a combination of tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) plus a protease inhibitor/ritonavir (PI/r) to a combination of raltegravir (MK-0518) plus nevirapine plus lamivudine in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infected participants with suppressed viremia and impaired renal function.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether high porous membranes are effective in the treatment of cardiovascular events in chronic dialysis patients.
